UNITED SELF-{31S PATENT WILLIAM HILL, OF DENVER, COLORADO.

wmnow.

citizen of the United States resEding at the citv and county of Denver, and State of (o orsdo, have invent-(ed certain new and useful Improvements in Windows; and I do ,declare tlie following to be a full, clear, and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use. the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

MT inventionrelates to improvements in windows, my object being to provide a window of such construction that the sashes thereof may he sv. ung into the room to permit tlie washing of the glass on the outside. In my improved construction the stops and parting heads are hinged to permit the necessary adjustment of the sashes, and each sash is provided at the top with a rod pivotnlly' connected with the sash at one extremit while its opposite extremity is provided with a hook adapted to engage a screw-eye or other suitable device conveniently attached to the frame, whereby the sash is supported atthe top and ailowed to swing. I further provide an alijustal..-le abutmentadapted to engage the. lower end of the sash, whereby the latter is held in lac-e while the sash swings upon the sait rod. The vertical rails of the lower sash are provided with lugs which prevent the hinged stops from moving outwardlv. except when the.- sash is raised sullicientlvfc-r the purpose. It is not necessary to hinge the parting strips their entire length, since the upper portions of these strips may be left rigid so that the upper sash cannot be swung outwardly until it is lowered below the. stationary parting strip members.

Having briefly outlined my im roved construction. I will p: cecd to describe the same in detail reference bein" made to the accompanying dmwing in w ich is illustrated an embodiment ZlllJf.

In this drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window provided with my improvemeets, the two sashes being swung outwardly to illustrate my improved construction. Fig. 2 is .a cros section taken on the line 22 Fig. 1, showing the lower sash swun outwardly and the other sash lowered so that in looking downwardly it is seen in end view.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed June a, 1901. "seria No. 371,029.

Patented Aug. 4, 1908.

Fig. 3 is a section shown on a larger scale taken through the frame and cutting the upper sash. Fig. 4 18 a snmlar section cutting the lower sash. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary U detail view showing one side of the window OF ICE..-

and illustrating the construction of the win- ,dow stop'on the hinging side of the window.

Fig. 6 is a similar view of the opposite side of the window, Fig. 7 is a )erspective view in detail of the adjustable abutment.

The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all the views.

Let the numeral 5 designate a box window frame" provided with the usual sash cords 6 and weights 7. Let the numeral 8 desi nate the 11 )per sash and 9 the lower sash. '10 the top oi the upper sash is hinged at. 10, one 'extremity of a rod 11 whose opposite extremity is provided with a hook adapted to engage a screw-eye or staple 12 attached to the stationary parting strip member 13 located at the upper part of the frame. The lower sash is provided with a similar rod 14 hinged to the. sash as shown at 15, its opposite extrementer a screw-eye or staple 16, attached to the upper stationar r member 17 of the stop on the hinging side of the window frame. The top rail of the up )er sash is rovided with a recess 18 adapte to receive't 1erod 11 when the sash occupies its normal position in the window frame; while the top rail of the lower sash is provided with a similar recess 19 adapted to receive the rod 14. A portion 13 of the parting strip on the hinging-side' of the window, is hinged as shown at 20,.t0 allow the u )per sash to swing outwardly when moved downwardly to the position shown in Fig. l. I The )arting strip on the opposite side of the win ow is designated 21 being of triangular shape and lunged as shown at 22 whereby it is adapted to swing into a recess 23 formed in the frame when the upper sash is swung outwardly for \vas..i-ng purposes. The lower portion 17- of the stop on the hinging side of the window is hinged as shown at 17, whereby it is free to swing outwardly when the lower sashis properly adjusted. This sash, however, is provided with a lug 24, which prevents the lunged member from swinging outwardly, until the i a. -4. wmmzwm is also provided with a lug 27 adapted to lock the hinged stop 25 from swinging on its hin 'e, until the said sash is raised to such a position, that the lug 27 registers with a recess 28 formed in the stop. \Vhen this occurs the step may be swung upon its hinge to allow the sash to swing to the position shown in Fig. l. The recess 28 is indicated by the dotted lines in Figs. 4 and 6. The two stop members 17 and 17 are shown in Fig 5, also the position of the sash whereby the lug 24 is in such a position that the stop member I? may be swung outwardly on its hinge. In Fig. 5 the lug 27 is shown in position to register with the recess '28 of the stop 25, whereby the said stop may be swung out-- wardly on its hinge 26.

The wirdow frame is [a'ovided with two slidable abutments 29. One of the abutnients 29 is used in connection with the upper sash while he other is used in commotion with the lower sash when the sash is swung to the posit-ion shown in Fig. 1. Each of these abutment-s has its outer extremity bent at right. angles to the body of the abutment forming a sort of hook, ada )ted to engage the lower part of the sash and hold the latter in suitable operative position, while the sash swings upon the rod 9 or 1-1 as the case may be. \lhen the window sashes are in their normal position within the frame, these abutments slide into the recesses forthe weights in the frame and are completely concealed, their hook-shaped extremities being sunk into the shallow recesses formed in the frame as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4.

Two small doors 3l-are out out of the frame in front and hinged as shown at 32. Within the frar opposite the upper door is located a book 32 to which theexiremit-ies of the cords 6 may be. attached after detaching them from the sash on the side of the frame oppositethe hingiug side. An exposed hook may also be used for the same purpose if desired. The lower door 31, may be used for the purpose of gaining access to the lower part of the frame when [or any reason such access may be necessary.

From the foregoing description the use and operation of my improved window will be readily understood. Assuming that both sashes are in their normal position in the window frame, and also assuming that it is desired to sw ng the sashes inwardly into the room for washing purposes, the lower sash is first raised, to bring its lug 27 into alinement with the recess 28 of the hinged stop 25 after which, the said stop may be swung inwardly to release both sash on the side of the frame op osite the hinging side. The lower sash is t ion raised still fart-her until its lug 24 on the hinging side is brought to a position above the top of the hinged stop member 17. This member is then free to turn lowered until the top of the lower sash 9, is

below the stationary stop member 17 This will also bring the lug 24 below the members 17. The lower sash is then swung into the room to the position shown in Fig. 1, and its rod it raised out of the recess 19 and connected with the hook 16, tons supportin the then drawn outwardly to the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, whereby it supports the lower extremity or the sash m the proper position corresponding with the support for the upper extremity thereof. The upper sash is then lowered until its top is below the stationary parting strip member 13. The n per portion of the parting strip 21 may e statitmary to correspond with t 10 stationary part 13. When the upper :thl'. is in this position, the hin ed parting strip member 21 is turned inwardly mto the recess 23,- after which the upper sash may be swung inwardly to the position shown in Fig. 1, the art-lug strip member 13" moving automat wally inwardly therewith. supporting rod 1) is then lifted from its reces 18 and connected with the device 12. The cerres )onding abutment :29 is also drawn outwardly to the position shown in Fig. 1 whereby the sash is so iported in posit-ion for washing. After the g ass has been cleaned; the sashes may be returned to their normal position by reversing the operation heretoforedescribed.

llaving thus described my invent-ion, what I claim is:

1. in a window, the combination with the frameand sashes, the frame being provided with movable stops and parting strips, the upper rails of the sashes being provided with rods normally concealed in grooves formed in said rails, these rods being hin ed at one extremity to the said rails, while their opposite extremities are fashioned to connect; with the frame for the purpose of suspending the sashes, and hook-shaped abutments slidable in the frame adjacent the hinging stiles of the sashes and nornmlly concealed thereby. these abut-meats being arranged to be drawn out to engage the lower portions of the sashes alter the latter are swung inwardl for cleaning purposes, thus cooperatin wit. the supporting rods to retain the sas es in position for the aforesaid purpose.

2. In a window, the combination with a f ramc and the upper and lower sashes thereof each sash being provided with a suspension rod connected with its upper rail and normally concealed in a groove formecl't-herein, one extremity of the rod being pivoted to the said rail and the opposite extremity being hook-shaped whereby itis adapted to enga e an eye with which the frame is provided, t 0 frame being also provided with horizontally disposed movable hook-slut ed abutlneuhs inwardly on its hinge 17 The sash is then l which are norinallyconceole by the stiles of 895,402 w 3 the sejzz: on the hing'ing side, the said abutof the sash,'whi'ie the opposite hinged stop, 5 ments being adapted to be drawn out to'enextends only part of the height of the frame, 4; gage the Rover-portions of the sasheswhen there being a fixed stop for the rest of the 1 height, and the lower sash being capable of upwardniovement sufhoiently to disengage its lug from the hea ed top member, suh- 20 the latter are swung inwardly; thus cooper- 5 eting with the suspension rods to hold the sashes in position Iur cleaning purposes.
